Nice, France, 6th May 2009 – Tribold has announced a major change in the way Enterprise Product Management (EPM) can be implemented by Communication Service Providers (CSPs).  Tribold Agile Enterprise Management™ introduces a monthly subscription option for the Tribold 3™ software solution and a set of solution packages delivering tangible benefits and ROI in as little as three weeks.

Tribold Agile EPM™ enables CSPs to adopt the product catalog and PLM capabilities of Tribold 3™ in shorter, lower-cost entry increments. The product design, catalog management, PLM and reporting capabilities of Tribold 3™ are delivered through focused phases of implementation that range from three to 16 weeks.  These solution packages are designed to avoid disruption to the business and IT, primarily through pre-packaged capability (product templates, process flows and reports) and incremental delivery modules.  Tribold Agile EPM™ de-risks the implementation with immediate proof points for internal validation and stake-holder buy-in.

Tribold Agile EPM™ provides clear visibility on what CSPs are selling today; targeted customer up-selling capability; strategic visibility on future products and Time to Market and Cost to Market advantages through collaboration and re-use.

Tribold Agile EPM™ has been developed as a result of Tribold’s extensive EPM implementation experience with CSPs across the globe, where long transformation programs are under cost and time pressures.

Catherine Michel, Tribold founder and CTO, said: “CSPs continue to face increasing pressure to introduce new, more complex products and services to the market faster and at lower cost.  EPM has been widely accepted as the strategic solution to address this challenge. Tribold Agile EPM™ delivers visible results early on and clarity for the CSP on the path to further scale their EPM capability.”
